Jesse Wayne Brazel, or Wayne Brazel (December 31, 1876 – after 1913), was an American Old West ranch hand, during the closing years of that era.^[1] Brazel's place in history resulted from his 1908 confession and trial for the fatal shooting of former lawman Pat Garrett who, more than a quarter of a century earlier in 1881, had tracked down and killed Henry McCarty, also known as Billy the Kid.^{[citation needed]}
